Two seated female deity murtis in red and orange dress with gold crowns and jewellery sit on a raised platform, with a smaller figure in front.

On the left, a priest in white dhoti and shawl holds a brass plate or tray toward the shrine. Red and orange drapes frame the altar, with a stone pillar and green foliage visible at left.
